If you have a stylus, the viewer makes it easy to underline, draw, sign, and write with a selection of tools, but things get a little more complicated once you'd like to draw straight lines, shapes, or just add text - the Chrome PDF viewer currently doesn't support that. It's the default solution for opening PDF files you've downloaded on your Chromebook, and it's more than enough for many circumstances. If you don't need much more than a basic PDF viewer with rudimentary support for annotations and signatures, you might not have to look further than Chrome's native PDF viewer. Finally, s igning and filling out a PDF is much like signing and filling out a printed document, though PDF files allow for special forms and boxes that you can manipulate via a viewer. You can underline things, add shapes, forms, and text, but you can't change the underlying PDF document itself. Annotating a PDF can be compared to taking notes on a printout. Editing a PDF is a process similar to working on a Word document - you can change the text, switch out images, and add new elements to a page, altering it completely in the process. That's why I won't only introduce my personal go-to solution, Kami, but also a few other alternatives that might be better suited for other use-cases.īefore we dive in, we need to establish a vocabulary to make it easier to differentiate between the different tools. I personally need a PDF reader to annotate film and TV scripts mostly, but your workflow might differ from mine.
